How do you stop a 2 year old from getting out of cot and undressed throughout night?
Answer:
try putting him to bed already with no clothes, maybe he gets up in the first place because he is too hot or uncomfortable, then decides while he's up to play? or he knows you'll come in and take the time to redress him... as for the diaper- duct tape works wonders and they can't get it off... unplug cd players and anything else he might turn on so he won't get a reaction out of it. as for opening the door and the light, there isn't much you can do, but don't play with him or talk to him, simply come in- pick him up, put him in bed, tuck him in, give him a kiss and turn off the light and leave. don't make eye contact- he may just want your attention and is doing all this to get it. once he learns that he can't get your attention by acting out like this he'll eventually stop and just go to sleep. Good Luck!!
duct tape duct tape duct tape its cheap and wll hold most 2 year olds if not try the fiberglass reinforced shipping tape
hahahaha! my little sister used to do that.
Remove all dangerous objects and lock the door, so he can't hurt himself. Eventually he will get bored once he realizes he can't go anywhere anyhow... and will stay in bed.
Unless of course you believe in spanking, cause then you can give him a swat on the butt (he's 2, common, a little smack with your hand against his diapered butt won't kill him) and then plop him back in bed.
Definitely Duck tape...
Shame good luck to you.
They have things that can go on the doors so they can't open them (atleast in the US they do) make the bedroom boring and safe so they can't get hurt and just keep putting them back in bed and thuring the light off. My daughter recently had a problem where she got herself into sleeping all day and wanting to stay up al l night. I just turned everything off in the bedroom so if was dark and she couldn't play and kept putting her into bed, eventually she got back into a normal bed time. Don't give in and don't make it seem like a fun game.
Explain to me why you lack the intelligence to NOT hit your child? He is only 2 years old. He doesn't think like an adult does you can tell him 20,000 times not to do something and he will turn around and do it again because he doesn't have the cognative powers of an adult. And you're hitting him for it. So instead of teaching him not to do something you're teaching him that hitting is okay when people don't do what you want them to do. And when he is hitting the kids in school is THAT going to be alright with you? I don't think it will be alright with the teachers or the other children.
Addressing the getting undressed, it could simply be that he is getting too hot in bed. A child's body temprature goes up when they sleep and they don't need half of the covers, pjs their mother's insist they need at night. My daughter slept in a tee shirt and diapers in the middle of Central New York winters with just a sheet and comforter on her bed and some how she survived.
Addressing leaving his room, put a child gate up in his doorway, this way he can get up and play in his bedroom but not wander all over the house.
Try to use a bit of intelligence when parenting your child? Apes hit their offspring...if you're a human you're SUPOSSED to have a bit more intelligence than an Ape does, so stop hitting the poor child.
